THE LOCAL OSCILLATOR - October 2010 NOTE: The text file is very difficult to format. Nicely formated and easier to read versions are the HTML versions, available at www.mvrc.qzxservices.com, and the pdf file of the web edition available at http://www.mvrc.qzxservices.com/pdf/LO1010.pdf. It will be easy to print that edition. If you do not have the free pdf reader, you can get it at http://www.adobe.com TABLE OF CONTENTS COMING EVENTS RACE COMMUNICATIONS MONTHLY BOARD MEETING MONTHLY BUSINESS MEETING TREASURER'S REPORT UNCALSSIFIED OFFICERS JOIN THE CLUB COMING EVENTS M-F 6 m FM net 52.540 6:00 AM Mon WTRA Swap net 146.88 8:00 PM Wed Net 146.64 6:45 PM MWF Informal get together Wal-Mart W (Valley) 10 AM TTH Informal get together Wal-Mart E (Walton) 10 AM Oct 2 Breakfast Club House 8 AM Oct 2 Business meeting 8:45 AM Club House Oct 5 Builder's Group 7 PM Club House Oct 6 Board Meeting 7 PM Club House Oct 19 Builder's Group 7 PM Club House Oct 30 Socorro Hamfest See http://www.n5bl.org/calendar for more events. RACE COMMUNICATIONS KD5OHA On September 25 many club members were present at the The Whole Enchilada Fiesta to help with communications for the one mile and 5K foot races. There was a large group for the one mile race that started at 07:30 A.M. The 5k race started at 08:00 AM. There were 128 people in the 5K race. The last person crossed the finish line at around 08:45 AM. It was a very nice race. Thanks to George, KD5OHA, Henry, AD5FE, Jack, N5PK, Perry, KC7VHS, Dennis, KB5TPV, and Kevin, K5KMC. Thanks to all of you. Reminder there will be no full marathon in October and no Baylor Pass run this year. The next race will be the Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Day.
